Enjoy a flexible kayaking experience voucher that lets you choose from four stunning river locations across Sussex. Whether you’re gliding along the peaceful Upper River Arun, exploring beneath the dramatic chalk cliffs of Cuckmere Haven, or paddling through one of the serene stretches of the River Ouse, each route offers a unique way to experience the beauty of the Sussex countryside. Led by expert instructors and suitable for all skill levels, this experience combines relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable views of local wildlife and charming riverside scenery.
At the River Arun, your adventure begins at tranquil Pallingham Quay, where you’ll paddle through open farmland and wilder, tree-lined waterways. Choose Cuckmere Haven for a scenic tidal paddle through the South Downs National Park, where you might spot the famous White Horse of Litlington and if you’re lucky, an otter or mink along the way. Prefer the River Ouse? Start at Barcombe Mills and drift towards the historic town of Lewes, or explore the quieter upper stretches for a more secluded experience surrounded by lush greenery. Wherever you go, friendly and qualified instructors will guide you through, tailoring the pace and activities to match your confidence and ability.
With all equipment provided, you can simply turn up and enjoy the day, no previous experience required. Immerse yourself in fresh air, calm waters, and breathtaking countryside views. Whether you’re after a peaceful escape, a new adventure, or a memorable outing with friends or family, this flexible kayaking voucher offers the perfect way to reconnect with nature and explore some of the most scenic waterways in the South East.
To top it all off, at the end of your paddle you’ll be treated to a free hot drink (tea, coffee, or even hot squash), the perfect way to warm up, recharge, and relive the highlights of your adventure after a rewarding journey on the river.

What to Bring
Participants should arrive with warm, waterproof clothing suited to the day’s weather. A complete kit list will be provided upon booking, but here’s a general guide:
The above is a suggested list, and it’s recommended to dress appropriately for the season.
*Layered clothing is ideal for trapping warmth. Denim is discouraged as it restricts movement, feels cold when wet, and dries slowly. Footwear is required while kayaking—old trainers or plimsolls are ideal, while sandals are not recommended. Wetsuits are optional but not essential; if bringing one, layering a warm top over it is suggested.
